California weather Reports.

WASHINGTON, January 9th. - General
Hazen, Chief Signal Officer, seems to be
entirely ignorant of the requirements OF
Southern California for special weather re.
ports. Yesterday Senator Williams and
Representative Markham called upon
Hazen to endeavor to induce him to restore
the special service between San Francisco
and Los Angeles. The people of Southern
California require this special service, in or
der to market their citrus fruits at times
when theywill run little risk ofdamage from
sudden climatic changes. The appropria-
tons for these reports are general, and not
specified, and it is within Hazen's power
to curtail or increase the service whenever
he pleases. Senator Williams and Mr..
Markham pointed out to Hazen the need
of Southern California for special service
at this time, and showed him how like
service could be curtailed at various points
in the Middle and Eastern States, where all
agricultural and many transportation in
terests are blocked by severe winter
weather. Hazen gave no definite response,
but urged that if the appropriations for
the Signal Service for the next fiscal year
could be increased, that special service to
Los Angeles would be restored. Williams
and Markham are greatly interested in the
matter, and will press HaZen for an imme-
diate decision, and do all in their power to
accomplish the result.
Work Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, January 9th - Probably
one, and perhaps two of the appropriation
bills now before the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, will be reported back to
the Senate and called up for action during
the week. but it is not yet possible to state
which OF these measures will be ready first
With the exception of time so consumed,
it is expected thatthe week will be devoted
to the consideration of the interstate COM
merce bill. If vote is reached before the
end of the week, as Senator Cullom hopes,
Beck will ask that the bill to prohibit
members of Congress from acting as rail-
road attorneys be taken up, and that it be
not laid aside again till acted upon.
1t is the intention of Willis to ask the
House on Tuesday to consider the river
and harbor appropriation bill.
1t is possible that during the week Ran
dali may offer motion that the House
proceed to considerreyenue matters, though
no plan looking TO that end has been form
ulated. Should the motion be made and
carried, it would destroy all chances for
the immediate consideration of number
of special orders, whose managers are care
AuiAS WdtShAbS IOl opportunities W CHILL
the attention of the House. OF these spec
ial orders, the naval reorganization bill and
the bill for the creation of Department
of Agriculture and Labor are the two most
likely to receive early consideration.
1t IS understood to be the purpose of the
friends of the interstate commerce bill to
postpone action upon that measure in the
House until the Senate shall have reached
conclusion in the matter.
More Gossip About DIR. McGIynn.
New YORK, January 9th.-The Times
says DR.. McGlynn has decided not to go
to Rome. The decision was rendered
within the last two weeks. Three weeks
ago DIR. McGlynn promised the venerable
priest that he would submit. He would
build a parochial school, take the meanest
country charge, and cease to publicly sup
port the opinions which his superior had
found obnoxious. He would forsake the
public platform, and devote himself en-
tirely to the spiritual interests of his con-
gregation. He was sincere at the time, but
changed his mind since. His latest deter
mInation will precipitate settlement of
his case, which will now occur here Both
his immediate and supreme superiors are al
ready cognizant of his attitude, and will
take such action as they may deem proper.
nc AlcnolsHop. NHeH ne mas received the
proper advices and sanction from Rome,
will remove DR.. McGlynn from the rector
ship OF ST. Stephens Church and make his
suspension from his priestly functions per-
manent. His standing then will be that OF
q suspended priest, who may at any time
before his death, if he so desires. have his
case tried and make his submission. The
rumors about Rev. Charles McCready, rec
tor Of the Church of the Holy Cross, sue
ceeding DR.. McGlynn at st. Stephens, are
unfounded.
